SOC General Education Courses
The Sociology Department offers a wide range of courses in the General Education curriculum. Many students who are not sociology majors find our General Education courses stimulating and provocative. And, majors and minors are able to take these courses to simultaneously fulfill General Education and major/minor requirements.
